head(status, options = nil) public

Returns a response that has no content (merely headers). The options argument is interpreted to be a hash of header names and values. This allows you to easily return a response that consists only of significant headers:

head :created, location: person_path(@person) head :created, location: @person 

It can also be used to return exceptional conditions:

return head(:method_not_allowed) unless request.post? return head(:bad_request) unless valid_request? render 

See +Rack::Utils::SYMBOL_TO_STATUS_CODE+ for a full list of valid status symbols.
